Fresh mozzarella, juicy cherry tomatoes, and torn basil come together in crisp butter lettuce cups for a starter that looks stunning on any table. The dressing is a simple whisked blend of extra-virgin olive oil, balsamic glaze, flaky sea salt, and black pepper — nothing processed, nothing hidden, just clean and bright flavor. That matters more than it might seem, because packaged dressings and store-bought antipasto mixes are notorious for sneaking in additives that don't belong on a clean plate. Every ingredient here is whole and straightforward, so you know exactly what you're eating. The optional prosciutto and Kalamata olives add a salty, savory depth that takes the filling from simple to genuinely impressive. Assembly is effortless — just toss, spoon, and serve — making these cups perfect for entertaining without any last-minute stress. They're light, refreshing, and the kind of appetizer that disappears from the platter before you've even sat down.
